Canada 2023: Day 6
9th July. Banff
Slept well in the Canmore Hostel – didn’t hear the live band in the hotel next door. We’re up by 8am to put a new ticket on the car. A ticket was needed but was free – work that one out ???
After making tuna mayo sarnies we headed out to Banff for a day’s eMountain biking. We were both looking forward to exploring Banff.
When we arrived the bikes were hybrids rather than mountain bikes. We ask for routes & three were provided. It transpired there were no mountain bike trails locally so the routes provided were on road.
The thre routes were ” Golf course”, “Tunnel mountain” and “Lake Minniewanka” loop. Being quite childish the name Minniewanka made me snigger…
Anyway some photos…

After riding we had an hour or so before a wildlife tour. The tour started from the same spot we hired the bikes from – simples…
The tour was on a small minibus. Our tour guide was Ray, a young girl with multicoloured hair and a loud voice.
We all got on the bus (12 people) and Ray told us the route for tonight’s wildlife hunt.
Sarah & I looked at each other as Ray said the exact route we’d eBiked earlier ! We laughed…
Anyway the tour was good and Sarah got to see a Wolf. No photo – it ran off.
Back to Canmore for a couple of beers… Night x
